Zeniva Hotel

İzmir


Modern and spacious rooms blend business and boutique style at this recent opening a short walk from the city's waterfront. Breakfast is worth lingering over – especially the fresh honeycomb – and the surrounding neighbourhood combines a quieter residential vibe with a few good cafes and restaurants. Dining recommendations from the friendly team at reception are usually spot on.
